Former President Donald Trump raised over $1 million dollars on Monday during the first day of his Manhattan hush money criminal trial, his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump said.
On Tuesday, Lara Trump, who serves as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), appeared on Fox News’ Fox & Friends where she criticized the trial against the former president for alleged hush money payments made to former adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
“The people of America spoke up yesterday in support of Donald Trump to the tune of a million and a half dollars raised for his campaign,” she said. “The average donation was $28, so even here, in the abysmal Biden economy, people are coming out and they are financially supporting this president.”
